What a sight!! I chased storms most of the day last week. Ended up outside Gering (near Scottsbluff), NE. All alone in a field that required my 4x4 to get to, I was treated to an AMAZING sunset. Over the years, I have come to accept that what I get when storm chasing might be not what I was looking for. Most of the time I get what I was not expecting! Most important, don’t give up too early!
Tornado captured 5 miles North of Vernon, Texas earlier this month. I decided to chase off of the dryline away from the convergence up north. Spun up quickly as I was sitting there watching. Lucky day.
This was one of those surreal moments in my life. I could not believe what I was looking at. This supercell was slowing down right at sunset. Lightning was steady on the leading edge of the storm and gradulally burned a hole and turned blue. The sun peeked through making it a perfect moment. Hope you enjoy!
